[@OhAlice1951]

Oh my gosh the “Best Friend’s House” description! Tache de Café is like hugging my grandma, but I can’t tell my husband that about his signature scent, it doesn’t smell LIKE Gran! but it smells like how it feels to be hugged by someone safe and good, the Best Friend’s House effect, and it suits him so perfectly

[@shelby6]

Just tell him that, that "it smells like how it feels to be hugged by someone safe and good" that will probably be his favorite compliment of his perfume

[@maxgarcia1454]

Oh my god I was blown away by Tache de Cafe! Its the only Le Monde Gourmand fragrance I've bought and I wasn't expecting it to be that cozy and special.

[@warrenlwolfe]

Hey Emma! Recent subscriber & follower of your socials- just want to say how much I appreciate your detailed descriptions. For someone newly into the fragrance world, I feel like I learn something new in every video! And also you're just lovely

[@shonaandersen4248]

Hey Emma, I blind bought Liis choux choux and when I first sprayed it I was a little disappointed, it came off as a really stingy lime coconut scent. For some reason the opening reminded me a little of skylar lime sands. Not what I was expecting at all considering the notes listed for choux choux. But I thought "oh well, I'll still wear it because I paid enough for it" but then something magical happened after wearing it for a couple days it morphed into this very airy but cozy gourmand. The deep drydown is amazing, at least for me. Now I can't get enough of it and it is a compliment getter.

[@JulieDeuxFois]

The first like ten or twelve sprays sometimes are the juice that's been sitting in the tube for a good while... I never trust the first try when fresh out of the box

[@groggyfroggy5]

​@JulieDeuxFois wow, i never knew this!!! Im gonna spritz all my new perfumes a few times now before applying. It all makes sense to me now, like the person above. I have hated perfumes right out of the box, and then I ended up really liking them when I revisited

[@JulieDeuxFois]

@@groggyfroggy5 it's been my experience sometimes that the first spritz have 'turned' (smell like vinegar or old wet carpet) or isn't as potent. Let's not fear 'wasting' a few sprays... chances are if you're like me, you have literally liters of perfume😅 enough to last for decades

[@myinnermagpie]

Thanks. That is really good to know.

[@marieaco5528]

Hey... so "doux" actually means soft in french. And since it is meant to be the softer take on You... it actually makes sense hahah. Hope this helps you tell them apart better :) dont die on that hill hahah

[@perfumerism]

yes hehe you’re right thank you!!❤

[@donotreply8979]

She is literally going to perfume school in France... She's aware

[@marieaco5528]

@@donotreply8979 i was literally replying, respectfully, to something she said in the video? No need to get so aggressive dear

[@TeaCup1940]

It also means sweet. According to Larousse dictionary: "Qui procure une sensation agréable au goût ; suave : Le miel est doux. Synonymes : suave - sucré" Translation: "Which gives a pleasant sensation to the taste; sweet: Honey is sweet. Synonyms: sweet - sugary" So yes, in this context, they probably meant the definition of soft, but it is still can be confusing for people whose native language isn't French.

[@fragrantlyengaging]

Yeah lefty, it makes a difference to us, it's the Lil things, I went to Tim's once and gave the girl my cup to fill, pre covid, she asked if I was a right or lefty and put the cover on so that the handle was lefty, I was so touched, no one ever asked or cared b4😊

Glossier Doux smells homely. That's where the nostalgia hits for me.

nice to see more Canadian fragrance reviewers, I do a lot of blind buying, of my 120 bottles 106 were blind buys, and I haven't bought one that I hate, there are like 3 that are good but not as good as I thought they would be and there are about 10 that FAR EXCEEDED my expectations and I have 5 more blind buys in the mail from Fragrancebuy ( I love that site ) I just found your channel a few days ago and I like it, its not like other female fragrance reviewers, its refreshing.

Emma, all these l'eau papier/glossier you type of smells remind me of the old KENZO Amour, except for the Amour being so so so much better... KENZO AMOUR EAU DE PARFUM A sensual musky woody floral fragrance, inspired by the sensations of a journey of love. Cherry and Frangipani blossoms, woods, incense from here, Thanaka wood from elsewhere, Rice, White Tea and a touch of Vanilla. Created by Daphné Bugey and Olivier Cresp.

[@kookootrix1978]

Love the work of M. Cresp! 💙💙

[@anahnnemus5187]

I love watching all of your hauls because you say whether you like it or not but then you really get into the fine details. You stress getting a sample first. You are cautious about hyping a fragrance. You are really thoughtful of your viewers. Though I do appreciate beast mode fragrances and bonkers longevity is a plus to me if I enjoy the scent. I put loud perfumes in a roller ball to quiet them down and be precise in my application. Here's a talking point that might be controversial, if your fragrance can be smelled from a mile away what about the consent of other people? Consent is so important in whether or not someone wants to be touched but if I'm smelling your fragrance in another aisle it's touching me. Yes, it's just air but it's invasive, right? It's silent screaming. Sure, I can leave the area most times but if someone touches you without asking and runs away that's not okay. This just came to me as I was writing this comment.

[@drina4706]

Oh, I just wear beast-mode perfumes straight up. They make me happy so I don't care. There are a lot of people that wear perfumes that are yucky to me and I don't say anything. So, no. Perfume and makeup are personal. The only exception is if you wear it when someone is allergic or in a medical setting where you are not supposed to wear anything with fragrance, not even deodorant nor antiperspirant. Then I am respectful.

[@drina4706]

I think that you cannot compare a perfume wafting into the aisle you are in to a stranger touching you. There is absolutely not comparison there. People pass gas and that gets picked up by air and circulated in a store so you will smell it even though it wasn't you. But while that is inconvenient and even repulsive and you might question their manners that cannot be compared to someone physically laying a hand on you. What do you say to chemical companies that release chemicals [that are more often than not harmful] into the air? You can't sue them for "touching you" with the cmpds. released in air but you can go after them if there are significant health adverse effects. Perfume doesn't pose (for most people who do not have respiratory system problems and who are exposed very briefly) such detrimental adverse effects. Hope you understand my argument.

[@niaameli9549]

Hey love!! do you think you'll ever do a video about your favorite long-wear perfumes? That would be so amazing if you did

[@freckledklutz]

Fellow leftie here and things like that drive me nuts its the assumption everyone is right handed that irks me. I take fragrantica with a giant pinch of salt for that very reason given how sometimes people are just not accurate. This was so fun to watch.

I love Story of Your Life but I agree that it's a bit messy at first. I've had my bottle for a month and I actually think it matured and got better. As to d'Orsay, you really need to try Sur tes lèvres ❤ It's so simple yet beautiful.

The one fragrance KZbinr I actually believe and continue to watch. You are not on here to SELL me something with a code. You’re not on here HYPING every single fragrance that gets sent to you for free. You’re not on here telling us that “We just got to have it!” And man I appreciate that sooo much ❤ You actually study perfume. You’re not on here just smelling, you’re tellin and I love that! I bought Reve and returned it. Lasts maybe an hour. Not worth it at all.

[@MM-cz1dw]

YES! Plum!! That’s what Peach’s Revenge smells like! I was listening to an interview and Sarah Baker said guava?? It does smell like plums!

[@strawberrypizza6798]

Could you make a video on sad/depressing perfumes? I know it may sound a bit strange though. I've seen someone saying Black Orchid may be way too sad and depressing and that made me wonder whether it's true that some scents may have this feeling to it. On the contrary, are there perfumes that are kind of "euphoric"? It's really exciting that scents can have a feeling attached to them.

[@L1ttlef0ot]

Not me getting a bottle of Black Orchid as my Xmas present 💀 I never heard that association, but makes sense I guess. It is very moody and mysterious which is what I love about it

[@marygracefelton]

Fragrantica also says God Bless Cola from versatile has BUTTER and peanut… I came to find out it’s actually a *peanut butter* note, which makes so much more sense!! When I realized that, I was like “YES!! That’s IT!”

[@caroline1844]

Also would love if you made a video dedicated to all of your favorite long lasting perfumes 🙏🏼 your recommendations are the best!!

[@Comfortinscents]

I love wearing Crushed Fruits. Regime des fleurs are definitely a favourite for me. I ordered a few samples of the Bottega Veneta fragrances. They look amazing and love a handblown bottle: beautiful 💚

[@kitthekat1612]

I shouldn't be surprised, but always am by how fragrance can smell so different on everyone. Glossier You stays on me and my clothes for ages, and Doux definitely lasted longer than Reve because I desperately tried to get it off my skin and it would. not. budge. Doux I expected to love and somehow smelled unwashed and pickley on me, confirmed by my partner. By the Fireplace is the only other demi-gourmand I like and own fullsize, so Reve seems to be a gourmand for people who dont normally like gourmands. I do find Reve lasts all day when layered with the You solid.

[@Karakendall]

You’re so pretty! Love these videos

[@christinab5778]

Glossier Doux smells like church to me (in a good way) from the frankincense and myrrh notes. On me it lasts all day!

[@ann-n3t]

I received a free sample of Story of Your Life. The smell made me really uncomfortable. It disturbed me and took me straight back to my childhood. It was a very small sample, thankfully. I threw it in the trash. Strange how a fragrance can really bring out some (negative) visceral reactions.

[@nbbgirl2400]

You Doux smells like the lobby of a spa or like…the incense sticks in a high-end store’s bathroom to me. Love the scent but I feel like it’s better suited as a room spray if that makes any sense lol

[@liv1639]

So glad to be here early, excited for this next part of the series!

[@Mia-ck3nn]

i smelled rêve in sephora and barely smelled the gourmand at first!! i sprayed it on my skin and wore it for the next 8 hours (i can still smell it) and it smells incredible on the skin even though i really did not like it on the paper, as i expected it to because it’s a second skin scent. my brothers girlfriend smelled so strongly of something incredible and i found out it was the glossier rêve, and it smelled the same on me thankfully. i think the second skin thing is very prevalent because it seems like it even lasted longer on me and her.

[@Mia-ck3nn]

i wasn’t expecting to like it because i tend to have scents sit on me weird so i was happy it smelled as good on me as it did on her.

[@TheVeritasForYou]

[@geminierica4077]

Love this video I have the same feeling about Reve and the name lol! But for me I'm the opposite of Glossier you and doux.. You works well with me (the slight pencil shavings vibe I think comes from the pink pepper rather than ambroxan, sonic flower has a similar vibe) but doux just completely clashes with me and doesn't like me at all and I could smell it the entire day on my skin having this sort of B.O vibe. So interesting how different people have different experiences

[@Kelsie347]

Had so much fun watching this! I loveeeee the bottega bottles and need to get my nose on the discovery set asap. As an original Glossier You lover I was pretty dissapointed in the new ones. Reve had a weird stank and Doux was a bit basic to me. I'd still like to get ahold of some samples and test outside the store to give them a fair shot though.

[@meepmoopmeep1]

Saying “doux” smells like your best friend’s house really resonated with me. I remember the first time I smelled JHAG “not a perfume”. A woman in my trivia group wore it to every trivia night. Eventually I had to ask what she was wearing because it smelled identical to my best friends house in middle school

This is off topic but I’ve had a bottle of Goutal Hadrian’s Wall that I’ve had forever. Ok, maybe 15 years. I don’t wear it often (almost never) 3:29 but it still smells the same to me. We’ve moved to Europe and back twice, with cargo ships carrying our stuff. Could this be possible or has it changed and I’ve not picked up on it. It’s always been kept from light and heat. Except for the sea- going cargo ships. Can perfumes be kept longer than we think? And thank you for all your work. Your approach is rational and measured. Then you give us your personal preferences.
